FOREST FIRES EvERYWHERE.
Acres Of Grain and Miles Of Fences
Being Destroyed tn Michigan.

DETROIT, MICH, August lo.-A gentleman who
Travelled yesterday through the burning Thumb"
OF the lower peninsula says that meadow and
bush fires are everywhere. Acres OF cut grain
and miles OF fencing have been destroyed several
barns and number OF cattle are reported burned
In the INTERIOR but definite news has not yet been
received. At night the scene Is wild and
weird. Isolated houses stand In the center
OF burning fields, and their destruction
seems certain. Last week Rad Axe seemed doomed,
but a sudden change OF wind drove the fire away.
The farmers are suffering greatly.
At the straits OF Mackinac the smoke is so dense
much trouble is experienced by vessels In making
the passage. In many parts OF the state the nres
are small and scattered but the total loss Will be
heavy.
MUSHROOM. MICH, August lo.-The mill fires In
this city yesterday resulted In "A loss or over n.
o00 900 feet OF lumber, owned by Stimson a Fay,
Mann Co.. Meekly & Co., ana Others. The total
losses aggregate nearly sl2oooo on which there
is fair insurance.
BEILEvILLE, MICH, August lo.-Forest nres are
raging two miles south OF here and many acres oi
timber have already been destroyed.

One of the secrets of President Cleve-
lands great and growing popularity is the
~frankness with which he faces the really
grave issues which he encounters. The
tariff question is the question par excel
lence of the fiftieth congress. In this
section of the West our interest in the
question, while indirect, is much more
vital han most people have conceived.
In the East, and in all the large manufac-
turing c%entcrs, it is the consideration of
paramount importance. The poor coal
miner, who contrives to barely exist on
$l.25 per day and unsteady employment
at that; the men who labor in the mills
and manufactories-a these have been
tariff meant their inevitable destruction,
While they barely managed to keep
body and soul together and the
almost exclusive benefits of the
tariff tax went into the pockets
of their employers, the bugaboo Of
free trade and foreign competition, was
Haunted in their faces until 10 their blind
ness they believed that any modification
would place them on the the high road
to destruction.
Meantime the import duties and inter
nal revenue, the former an indiscriminate
tax on all the people, continued to drain
the country OF its money and heap it up
IN useless piles in the United States treas
ury vaults. A modicum of relief was
received by calling in the 3 per cent
bonds, but now nothing remains to hope
for but to boldly face tariff revision.
This is much easier said than done.
The so-called protectionists are out in full
force, and there will undoubtedly be an
energetic and persuasive lobby. At the
head of the protectionist wing is Samuel
J. Randall, one of the leading Demo-
cratic statesmen. He is uncompromising
in his opposition to tariff revision, but
nevertheless congress has this delicate
duty before it, and if it fails
in the performance of it, on it will
rest the odium. President Cleveland does
well in placing the matter beyond the pale
of ~partisanship. 1t is a question which
intimately concerns the whole country and
if relief is not granted, as he clearly
shows, even the manufacturers and So
called protectionists will inevitably be in
volved in disaster in the general business
depression hat must soon come.
President Cleveland has handled his
chosen subject with great force and direct
ness and yet he has done it all in a way
that will gain admirers for himself and
the cause which he so intelligently cham
mons.

w aste of rss without Repair.

Vigor begins to decline when dyspepsia
invades the stomach. The disease, pro
longed through neglect, entails grievous
loss of flesh and serious waste Of the
muscular tissue. To ~iavigorate thoroughly
and speedily, a sound stomachic is re
CURED. There is none comparable to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, since it in
s%titutes, and if continued, p%erDetuates a
repair of the tissues, which have declined
in bulk, vigor and elasticity in couse-
quence of non. assimilation of the food.
No time should be lost in beginning the
reparative process, nor should there be
any delay in removing those ailments OF
the stomach and nerves, viz: constipation
and liver complaint, disorders which the
Bittcrs will assuredly %cxtinguish. 1t also
remedies and prevents malarial and kid
ney troubles, and is a prime auxiliary in
the recovery Of strength for oonvalesccnts
from wasting disease.

description Of tho 'ryyiro writor.r


One of the most beautiful of modern
inventions-it remains to be seen whether
it is as useful as it is beautiful-is the in
strument devised by Mr.. John Robertson
for the transmission of writing by cleo
tricity. Out of the top of a box, which
is about the size of an ordinary dispatch
box, protrudes what has the appearance
of a photographic pen. This, however, is
not a pen, but the handle of the ''trans-
mitter, and its lower end is fixed to a
light brass perpendicular bar. Any mo-
ton given by the hand-you hold it just
like a pen-to the handle of the trans
mitter is communicated by this bar to
two series of carbon disks contained
within the box, and, after various ad-
ventures among magnets, ETC., is carried
again to the top of the box, where it is
reproduced exactly by a small ink hold
ing pen, whose point rests on a white
paper tape. A clockwork apparatus pulls
this tape along at n gentle pace, and after
a little practice you find that it is quite
easy to move the handle of the transmit
ter so that the pen shall write legibly on
the moving tape. Now, whatever is
written on the tape before you is written
simultaneously a mile off, or it may be
fifty miles off, on a similar tape by a sim
liar instrument at the other end of the
wire. The instrument is very compact
and apparently efficient, and is quite
silent. A name will be wanted for this
machine. Perhaps the "wire writer"
will do.-The Argonaut.

1T STILL takes three years to make a

SF

We offer no apology for deyoting so much lime
and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases believing that no condition of humanity
Is too wretched to merit the sympathy and best
services Of the profession to which we belong
as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, Is no less a
philanthrophist and Il bene:actor to his race
THAI the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plicatiOn eNcels in any other branch of his pro-
fessiOn. And, fortunately for humanity, the day
Is dawning when the false ~phIianthrOphy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the leperS under the Jewish law. to die uncared
for, has passed away.

MIDDLE-AGED MEN.

There are many men of the age OF 80 to 60 who
are troubled with too frequent excavations OF
the bladder, often accompanied by a slight
smarting or burning sensation and a weakening
of the system In a manner the patient cannot
account for. On examining the urinary deposits
a ropy sediment will often be found. and some
times small particles of albumen will appear, or
tle color will be of akin or milkish hue, again
changing to a dark and turbid appearance.
There are many men who die of this difficulty
ignorant of the cause, which Is the second stage
OF seminal weakness. DIR. Wagner will guaran-
tee a cure in all such cases and a healthy restora-
tlOn OF the genlto- urinary organs, Consultation
